    Given that Doom and Quake were developed on Apple Computers (NeXT at the time), and that I have Quake 3 Team Arena for the Mac; I expect it to be released very closely after the Win32 version.

    I ordered my PowerMac over the weekend. I'm going to be ready for Doom 3.

    Does anyone have any statistics for how HFS+ (testable with Darwin stacks up against these other filesystems?

    How is a PowerMac "speed holes" reference also a Simpsons reference?

    Here's a tip, holding the control key while clicking makes a right-click action.

    I don't get it. Here's one of the iMac's bullet-points: 256MB of PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM expandable to 1GB; one 184-pin DIMM and one open user-accessible SO-DIMM slot.

    They should eliminate the intermediate step of copying Windows and just copy Mac OS X outright.

    WinFS is just a database ontop of a dumb file system
    As expected, this was cancelled. It will not be part of Longhorn.

    Yeah, you could oufit a PowerMac with 8GB of RAM, and two of Hitachi's new 400GB SATA drives, along with your dual 2Ghz PPC 970s; but for Apple to say that is the average computer recommended for Tiger (10.4) is f'ing rediculous!

    I'm fine with it. I prefer it, in fact. But, it seems to be that the #1 reason I always hear for people using the Wintel platform is the fact that you can buy from multiple vendors. The #2 reason is the price. And, when Microdell is formed their margins will expand and prices will be elevated.

    Add tabbed sessions for Terminal. I know that there is iTerm, but it choked on me way too many times. I like Terminal better.

    You should just use the Command+` keybinding to switch application windows instead.

    I did that too. But when the Windows box would not boot one day due to a DLL not being available, it got transformed into a Red Hat box. That box is currently in storage and I only have two Macs on the home LAN.

    He was saying it doesn't leave much room for innovation on the part of the PC fabricators. And he is right, it doesn't. It puts all of the chance for innovation into Microsoft's hands. Which would be fine if Microsoft were manufacturing the complete system as Apple, Sun, IBM does. The PC fabricators are going to get screwed by this. One forseeable consequence is Microsoft merging with Dell and all of the other vendors dying.

    $130 for something you use 365 days of the year. If it really brings useful improvements, I don't see why you wouldn't want to upgrade. But, if you don't want to, there's nothing that says you have to upgrade every time a new one is available.

    Does anyone have experience with both Thunderbird and Apple's Mail? Mail's filtering works wonderously for me. I very rarely get either good mail in the junk mail folder or junk mail in my inbox. I can't remember the last time it sorted incorrectly.
